Mexican President Calderon Advises US to Strengthen Gun Control after Colorado Shooting

Outgoing President Felipe Calderon tweeted his condolences to America over the terrible murders of innocents in Colorado:

Mighty decent of him. Apparently 260 of his nearly 2 million followers agreed with the sentiment, as they retweeted the message. But then the moron had to ruin it with this:

Reuters offered a good translation:

Because of the Aurora, Colorado tragedy, the American Congress must review its mistaken legislation on guns. It’s doing damage to us all.

Many more agreed with this sentiment than the condolences, as 1,770 retweeted this message.

Calderon should try to fix his own problems before he tries to pin the blame on us. If our gun manufacturing is the problem, then why is Mexico’s murder rate 3 times higher as the US? Every country will have insane murderers like the Colorado shooter, but it takes a special breakdown into corruption to be as bad off as Mexico.

The last time I checked, Mexico wasn’t trying to keep American citizens from illegally streaming into their country.

Calderon just shows the easiest route of a cowardly politician when faced with a difficult problem – find a scapegoat to blame it on.

    One legal gun store in Mexico. I’m sure that all of the guns, grenades and RPGs used to kill innocents in the Drug War all went through there…

    As per the L.A. Times: 14 of 23 folks in a pick up truck in my Texas died after it ran off the road traveling at high speeds; though not clear these folks were illegally here and on the run, I’m leaning that way, brother. I’m from here: if it quacks like a duck…Anyway, perhaps Calderon, on his way out, would be so nice as to do something to help America out by making it so our brothers and sisters to our south would find it feasable staying there as opposed to dying in such ugly ways over here.
